Full article:

Nile Rodgers (producer) : When we met Diana, she said she wanted to get back to having fun. She said when she walks onstage now she has all these heavy tunes and heavy musicians; it makes her crazy sometimes with so much going on.

Nile Rodgers : Before we started composing, our plan was to have a few interview sessions with Diana…we wanted to get a broad range of subjects that she was interested in.

Russ Terrana (engineer) : It seemed like a Chic album with a Diana Ross voice. I’d worked with her for so long, so I came in knowing the kind of person she is and the kind of excitement she lies to create.
